Cross Training:Longboarding is used as cross training for snowboarding, surfing, and wake boarding. When your season is over or the conditions aren't ride, you don't have to stop training. Grab a board and get to work.

Improved Balance:Increasing your balance will help you strengthen you core and avoid falling. This is important as age starts to effect our balance.

Learn To Fall:Although your balance will be vastly improved, eventually, everybody falls. Always make sure you wear your helmet in the case that you will fall. Learning how to land correctly on a longboard will decrease your chance of injury, on or off a longboard.

Mental heath:Learning new things challenges your brain to adapt. Longboarding also gets you active and outside, which releases dopamine, making you happy.
